\ Study OF Foreheads.

The forehead has language OF its
own, said a well-known surgeon to a
reporter. BY studying 1t the character
of person can be determined almost
to certainty. Take man who has a

and shallow, you will find him deficient
in intellect. If only slightly retreat

some day and compare the foreheads of
those you know with such of their
characters as you may be acquainted
with, and you will find that those noted
as being slow and dull will have very

Artificial Precious Stones.

The trade In artificial precious stones
has become quite important, and the
manufacture of them has reached a
considerable degree of perfection. The
products OF some OF the shops would
almost deceive An expert, but the test
of hardness IS still infaliib,e. The
beautiful French paste,n from which
imitation diamonds are made, is a
kind or glass with a mixture OF oxide
of lead. The more of the latter the
brighter the stone, but also the softer,
and this is Il serious defect. The i'm
itation stones are now SO perfectly
made, and are SO satisfactory to those
who are not very particular, that their
influence Eegins to be felt in the mar
ket for real stones. BY careful selec-
tion of the ingredients and skill and
attention in manipulation, the lu,ter,
color, fire, and water OF the choicest
stones are, to the eyes of laymen, fully
reproduced. There are a few delica-
cles of color that cannot be perfectly
given, for they depend on some undis-
coyeTable pecullaritieS Of molecular ar
rangement and not on chemical COM
position; but tho persons who are 10
buy the stones know nothing Of that.
Yet S!dot, a French chemist, has
nearly reproduced these peculiarties,
including the dichorism of the sap
phire, with a composition of which the
base Is phosphate OF lime. Two other
French chemists, Frenzy and Fell,
have produced rubies and sapphires
having the same composition With the
genuine stones and nearly equal hard
ness.

Shod With Gold.

In the year 1855 a storekeeper named
Donald Cameron, carrying on business
at Woolshed, was elected first member
OF parliament for the Ovens district,
and he had the honOr-unique in the
history of the colony-of being driven
in triumph from the Woolshed into
Beechworth in a gig, with tandem
team, the leading horse of which was
shod with gold. An old resident of the
district has favored me with the fol-
lowing particulars of the occurrence:
Just before the election an eccentric
| individual known as Tinker Brown
who had made a lot OF money on the
| digging, suddenly purchased u circus,
| with tents, horses, wagons, etc, COM
| plete and coming into Beechworth wi h
| his company, he offered to drive the
newly elected member and supply gol.
den horseshoes for the occasion. The
/ Woolshed bosses who were greatly
elated at the result of the election,
warmly took up Browns idea. and they
resolved, in addition, TO present their
member with a diamond scarfpin. The
horseshoes were made by working
! ieweller named Tofeld, and weighed
/ nine ounces each. The team was
driven from Woolshed to Beechworth,
and back as FAR as La Serena hill. On
removing the shoes of the leader Ga
piebald circus horse) they were found
to have lost a total of one and three
quarter ounces. Before Tinker
Brown died he willed them to a mar
ried daughter keeping public house at
| Wagga Wages. They were in exist
ance until about four years ago. when
the owner had them melted and tarued

FORCED ADVICE.
The Kind Of a Clerk Nobody Cares tC

baughtily up to the lace counter and
demands that some jetted essurial lace
be shown her. The friZzled and banged
young woman behi4e the counter coolly
sticks her pencil back OF her ear and
says:

as much as it was last year. What did

On the Rio di Somuo, Brazil.

The soft tones of the dawn of a fine
morning fell alike upon Held and flood
and tinged all creation with its rosy
hues. The rich-colored banks glowed
with the warm light that made the
dripping leaves OF forest, the ferns and
flowers of the shore all fash and sparkle
like jewels. On the river, here and
there. patches OF rising vapor paftly OBJ
scured its sheets Of cleaning gold,
until a gentle Sfeese carried away the
mist ia tho faintest of clouds. The
fish splashed in the smoking waters;
gay blue-bronze kinghshers darted
from their perches on the bleacheI
skeleton trunks OF stranded snagS
white herons skinned tho waters with
wide. out-stTetched Wings clouds OF
noisy, ehatteFing parroquets flew By,
numerous small birds uwIttered and
chirruped, and in the woods the roars
of JI1ribas or bowling monkeys echoed
and re-echoed from cliff to cliff of the
banks. 1t was a picture that even in
the absence OF personal comfort one
could gaze upon with delight, and all
nature seemed to welcome the rosy
dawn and pure, fresh air after the bois-
terors. darksome night.
